[QUOTE="rvh, post: 346493, member: 30445"] So I stumbled across the manual whilst looking for a warranty card in vain, and lo and behold it says: "The distance scale does not indicate the precise distance between the subject and the camera. Values are approximate and should be used only as a general guide". What that means in terms of tolerances and reasonable expectations, and whether it is reasonable to see differences across zoom settings of course remains a total mystery. I should clarify, btw, that when I refer to "focus shift" above, I'm not talking about anything to do with autofocus. I'm referring to the need to (manually) re-adjust the focus when I zoom in/out (or even alter f-stop). [/QUOTE]
